Why would they need to spin anything? The new 360 came out this month, if it didnt have a surge in sales it would have been really really odd. Either way i still expected the 360 to do better than that. When teh PS3 slim came out in september it sold nearly 500k, these 360 numbers are no where near that.

@ ReBurn bubble up to you Bud. That was one of the most Un-Fanboy comments I have seen on N4G in a wile. Spoken like a true gamer. I wish more people would be that way on here.

Game companies have been relatively safe from the recession. I think more people would want to spend there money on a good game, than have to pay to go out for entertainment. I hope they all have a strong summer, so more developers decide to green light more new projects.

@ LeonSKennedy4Life Dude what the hell? Where were you when the PS3 slim came out and owners of the Fat were all saying "Day one buy for me" or "Im going to buy one for my living room, bedroom, whatever". Your a hypocrite. Why does it bother you so much if someone decides to buy the 360 slim. People buy the latest and greatest all the time. Look at all the people who buy every version of Iphone or Ipod. Is this going to directly effect you? Is a Microsoft employee going to walk up and slap you every time someone with an old 20gig pro buys one. If I didn't get an Elite recently from MS when my 20gig Pro died, I would have bought one. I didn't buy a PS3 slim because I have a launch 60gig that's able to play all my old games. So go back to your bridge and STFU!

How can the 360 still sale with only a $100 proce drop since launch in 05? The PS3 has gone down $300. I just knew that at $300 the PS3 would fly past the Wii world wide. I like the 360 slim, but I have a 360 already. Why would I buy another 360 when I need/want a Ps3 (pending KZ3, infamous 2 release)? M$ must be purchasing their own consoles.
